It didn't work with alcohol, and it hasn't worked with marijuana and other illegal drugs. It won't work with cigarettes, either. But they never learn, so now we have Twinkie Prohibition:
With candy sales banned on school campuses, sugar pushers are the latest trend at local schools. Backpacks are filled with Snickers and Twinkees for all sweet tooths willing to pay the price.
It's probably too much to ask for that the court just tell the FCC it's got no business being in the "f******* expletive" business (that was "fleeting, you dirty-minded pervert, you):
Keith John Sampson is in his 50s, a janitor at IUPUI and also 10 credit hours away from gettting a degree there. While on break one day, he was reading a book about an early incident in Indiana involving the KKK. An employee complained that Sampson was "racially harassing" her by reading the book in front of her. You can guess what happens next.

One of the students, William Martin, a freshman political science major, responded to an e-mail sent by ABC News to all nine of the alleged offenders asking if there was another side of the story.
"nobody (sic) ever looks at the good things a person does with their life," Martin wrote, describing a trip to Mexico during which he built houses and other volunteer work feeding the hungry.
Wow, we couldn't see this one coming. The "Millenial Generation" coming out of college to mingle with us Baby Boomers and Gen X'ers in the workplace are having trouble coping:
"They wipe out on life as often as they wipe out on work itself," says Mr. Hannay, who let go more than a dozen millennials from his 130-person staff over the course of 2006.
Cut down those damn trees -- they're thwarting my efforts to use Earth-friendly energy!
SUNNYVALE, Calif. - In an environmental dispute seemingly scripted for eco-friendly California, a man asked prosecutors to file charges against his neighbors because their towering redwoods blocked sunlight to his backyard solar panels.
Now, we have two of the three finalists chosen for the "Jeopardy!" teen tournament. In addition to the girl from Indiana, there is now a boy from Paducah, Ky. I guess that says something about the education in this part of the country. As much as we criticize our public schools, they seem to stay on a fairly level-headed course.
